Luo Dayou criticized politicians on a radio program for being childless, triggering social discussions on fertility and caring for the next generation.
Zhan Yawen spoke out publicly.
Luo Dayou recently appeared on the UFO Radio program "UFO Breakfast" and talked about the current political and cultural situation in Taiwan. In the process, he not only criticized the Democratic Progressive Party's ruling, but also named former President Tsai Ing-wen, Vice President Hsiao Meiqin and others as childless. Related remarks caused controversy. In this regard, in addition to Tsai Ing-wen's public response, "I try my best to protect every child in Taiwan," Taiwanese singer-songwriter Zhan Yawen also spoke out from her own experience, believing that whether or not to have children is not a criterion for measuring whether a person cares about the next generation.
Zhan Yawen said: "Although I have not given birth to any children, I have adopted 2 to 30 children in Taiwan. Although we are not related by blood, we are 'family'." She believes that family ties do not necessarily come from blood.
In fact, Zhan Yawen has not only adopted children and devoted herself to charity for many years, but also recently actively demonstrated her support for the younger generation, publicly supporting the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, and privately treating her like a brother and sister. Even though she is in poor health, she is still willing to accompany him on his election schedule, saying heartbrokenly: "As a sister, no matter how sick I am, I will definitely run with him!"
